The Move - The Move [1998 Remastered+Expanded] (1968)

Genre: Rock

Review by Stephen F Mulcahy @ Buy It at Lowest Price on Amazon

:

This is an excellent debut record that also includes their early singles, outtakes, etc. The move were an incredible band, among the best of their era. These early recordings are a lot poppier than their later excursions into psychedelia, heavy metal, classical rock etc. I think the stuff that they did on Shazam, Message From the Country, etc. is their best, but it is all great. I would probably give both Shazam and Message From the Country an A+, and this debut and Looking On an A or A- for a grade, quite simply, this band's entire output is essential. this first album features a few fine covers: moby grape's brilliant 'hey grandma' from their outstanding debut, and 'weekend' by eddie cochran, who was a big influence on this band. there is also a bizarre rendition of the old standard 'zing went the strings of my heart'! , lead vocals are sung by the band's drummer, bev bevan- with his strange deep voicehe sounds like a troll on this cut. the originals are excellent late sixties pop , such as the big hit 'fire brigade', 'here we go round the lemon tree' (which was covered by jeff lynne's fine band the idle race-jeff would, of course, join a later move lineup), 'useless information'( a quite satirical look at junk culture with witty lyrics from roy wood), and cherry blossom clinic, the most psychedelic song on this album- it would be redone on the shazam album with incredible results. the band plays extremely well together, and the move featured several great vocalists , their harmonizing was superb as well. the lyrics are quite good , too and this debut certainly belongs in the collection of fans of this band and the offshoot bands, 60's enthusiasts, and anyone who likes british music of the era.

I think the Move got a bit better as they went along, but all 4 of their studio albums are worth having. This one is full of brilliantly catchy singles in a more Mod vein than their heavy later stuff. Psychedelic touches can be found here and there but it's definitely more akin to a multi-colored Creation or Who. The production is a bit mod-sounding too. Vocals are shared by the singer (whose name eludes me at the moment) and Roy Wood, who I find to be a more interesting vocalist. But more importantly, he's a bizarre but accessible songwriter. Just look at "Here We Go Round The Lemon Tree" for proof that he could really do weird but also incredibly catchy.

Their identity would solidify a little later, so here they're mostly relying on catchy singles and quirky attitude. And of course "Fire Brigade."
